thanks for joining us. what can you tell us about when this happened and how it happened? >> as eun said that jim zorn has been let go, it happened early this morning upon the team's return from san diego. the team landed around 2:00 a.m. and i'm told zorn was packing up his things with team officials waiting for him there at redskins park. so, wha we know from being in san diego with the team last night is that they had scheduled an 11:00 a.m. player availability for this morning. they also have scheduled an 11:30 meeting that players assumed would be zorn's address of the team and then zorn himself was scheduled to have his availability, which he always does at 12:25, which i said is his normal time. it's not expected and likely he'll be back in the building after leaving or if he already left this morning. so, that's the latest. >> lindsay, any idea when we might hear about a new coach for the redskins? >> i think that's the million dollar question. obviously, rumors have been swirling for so long about this. and i wouldn't say that it's out of the realm of possibility

many of us buy insurance to protect us from those risks. insurance companies can never fully protect from the emotional traumaof an auto accident. farmers insurance and the other members of the advocates board, the other insurance company members, believe that passing effective laws will do our policyholders a favor we cannot do them. i think they would much rather avoid the accident then have us pay for. they would much rather have that date bacy back. without assertive legislative actions, the type of action you see in the 2009 s stand up act, we will all be disposed even more unnecessary risks. i ask you to take a moment and take a little journey with me. if you close your eyes and think about nighttime on a two-lane road driving the speed limit, 45 miles per hour, and driving in thone direction. another car comes in the other direction. as one author calls this, public trust at that moment. public trust of an idea that person will act responsibly. think about being behind your will and what is happening behind the other wheel. is it som
